Declutter and Lose Weight

There was a great article on Weight Watchers' website today.  They had advice on decluttering cabinets in order to gain self-control in eating.  A couple suggestions I thought were especially noteworthy:

1.  Get rid of the half opened bags of chips, cookies, cakes.  "Who is going to reach for a piece of fruit when there are cookies around?"
2.  If you must keep fattening snacks around for your family, put them in their own drawer or in opaque containers.  Package advertising is very tempting.
3.  When you reorganize your cupboards, make sure what is visible is the most nutritious.
4.  Restock with whole grain cereal, tortilla chips, popcorn, nuts, etc. 

I'm off to see what fattening or old items I can pull off my shelves!
